In The BUFFis a collection of a small sampling of my experiences during nearly 14 years in B-52�s (BUFFs - Big, Ugly Fat Fellows) from October 1962, through the Cold War of the 60�s and 70�s and the tragedy of the Vietnam War, including Arc Light and the Linebacker II campaign in December �72, that led to a settlement ending US involvement in the War.

This book is not only a tribute to the B-52, its designers, builders, flyers and maintainers, it is also a humble tribute to the thousands of victims of the Vietnam War and the brave young Americans who tried to do their duty by fighting for the freedom of the nation�s allies and themselves.
